Google engineer rejected by 16 colleges uses AI to sue schools for racial bias

9 hours ago

A father in Palo Alto is suing multiple universities over his son's college rejections, claiming racial discrimination played a role, despite his son's high academic achievements.
After being rejected by law firms, the family turned to AI tools to handle legal analysis and case preparation, which they found highly effective.
The son, Stanley Zhong, now a software engineer at Google, has 'evergreen legal standing' for the lawsuits as he has not yet attended college, unlike many students who lose standing after enrolling.
The family has faced challenges, including statutes of limitations and university defenses, but cites the Supreme Court's ban on affirmative action and increased scrutiny of elite universities as shifting the admissions landscape.
They have launched a nonprofit, SWORD (Students Who Oppose Racial Discrimination), and are funding their legal efforts through personal funds and GoFundMe donations, aiming to address broader issues beyond their son's case.
